This
page gives a handy guide to installing additional drives in a Zentyal server (which I've shamelessly copied and pasted ~ for easy usage).
Partition Disks
Open the Administrator Console from the Desktop
In console Type:
sudo fdisk –l
This will give a list of Disks attached to the system:
- sda contains the system and swap partitions
- sdb is the first disk
- sdc is the second disk
- sdd is the third disk
Open
gparted and create a primary partition on each of the disks
sdb,
sdc &
sdd. I created these with an
ext4 file system. It is not
necessary at this point to provide a volume label or mount point, as
this will be done in the following steps.
Next, Open the
PCMan File Manager
At the bottom left, click on the folder icon. This will provide a
directory tree. Navigate to
/media and click once on this folder in the
directory tree. In the top menu, click on tools, and then open this
folder as
root. This will allow you to create folders and change
permissions for those folders. The second screen shows the media folder
opened in superuser mode.
Right click in the empty space to bring up the context menu and
create folders in
/media for the three disks. I used:
Disk1,
Disk2 and
Parity.
I edited the permissions for these folders and changed the username
to my username, changed the group to fuse, and gave full permissions to
all.
This may not be necessary. Right Click on each folder, select
properties and then the permissions tab.
Close the media folder superuser window. Navigate in the directory
tree to
/etc and open this folder as root. Scroll down and find the file
called
fstab. Right click on the file and select open with
leafpad.
This is the original
fstab
Add the following lines to the end of
fstab:
/dev/sdb /media/Disk1 ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdc /media/Disk2 ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdd /media/Parity ext4 defaults 0 2
Save the
fstab file and exit
leafpad.
